Watched the series with a couple of friends and we all felt the final episode seemed far fetched and kind of thrown together.
Thought the writing was mediocre at best and as a long time Le Carre fan was expecting a lot more.
Thought the acting was solid and the cinematography was phenomenal in pretty much every episode.

I thought the pilot was mediocre - but it got significantly better with each episode. Hugh Laurie and Tom Hollander pretty much made the show. But I was so disappointed with the last episode. I thought it would be a lot more dramatic, but it ends just like that. There is no huge conflict, no genius cat and mouse trick going on, it just felt like the ending was too rushed. It was your standard, expected ending.
It had so much potential, but the ending was just so disappointing. All in all, it was a good show, but not great. I haven't been wowed by TV since the first season of Fargo. Still searching
Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life!

We are on the fifth episode and love it. Overrated? Not in my opinion. It's a slow-burn, espionage thriller with great cinematography, beautiful sets and gorgeous to look at. The acting is good, all around but not Golden Globe-winning type. So on that awards front, I'm surprised HL and TH won, especially since TH was up against other actors who were more deserved, I thought, i.e. Riz Ahmen and John Turturro. Olivia Coman was fantastic, as always.

It was still in Turkey, they wanted to deliver the weapons to Syria the next day.

Syria

Was a good, but not outstanding show, so yes, overrated it might be. What I did not like was the fifth episode. That "war show" with blowing up tanks and using bombers and destroying a whole village was the most ridiculous thing in the show. Even if they bribed some guys, and even in this beep up world, there are hardly any states who would let that happen on their ground.

Overeaten is the correct form.

Yup overrated for sure

Definitely overated. Just a naive little thriller with great camera and great Laurie.

O_o How the beep did you end up here, then? Did the show decapitate your grandmother or something?

I haven't seen one episode! It really didn't peak my interest at all! Sorry! I'd rather have a small person kick me repeatedly in the coccyx while I read Catcher in the Rye.

I think Jed was unhappy before Pine came onto the scene.
She was unhappy because her mother or sister (not sure who) didn't approve of her relationship and called her a prostitute. Also, her son was being raised by her sister. I don't think he knew she was his mother. She had him quite young at 17. We don't really get the story as to why Jed left home in the first place, presumably to be a jet-setter and live the so-called good life with a wealthy man.
And all the pieces matter (The Wire)

I think Jed was unhappy before Pine came onto the scene. There is a scene where she is crying and talking on the phone to her mother or somebody and you hear her say I'll call you, don't call me. She wipes down her tears and brushes herself off and to me this shows she is putting on a happy front.

After hearing all the rave reviews about it, I was pretty Meh on the whole experience after watching every episode. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad show overall, but there was a lot of filler that I think could have been cut and shortened without actually affecting anything.
I dunno why Jed suddenly had a problem with what Roper was doing as soon as Pine entered the picture. It's not like that was the first time Roper was ever selling arms but apparently she was suddenly against it.

It's alright. Solid 7/10. Quite a few cheapened plot points I'm sure we're abbreviated compared to the book.

What I have learned to do on IMDb is to ignore troll threads with negative titles even if I want to 'set them straight' I refuse to feed the trolls who started it for attention.

I just watched it for the 2nd time. Thought it was brilliant.
It is and Tom qualified for his award.
It's wrought from excellent material. It is relevant. It is brilliantly executed, pun intended.
